Brest have also seen their squad decimated by a long list of absentees.

Alexandre Alphonse is still out with an achilles injury, Larsen Toure has a thigh problem, and Benoit Lesoimier has a calf complaint.

Paul Baysse is also sidelined with a knee injury, Abdoulwhaid Sissoko is still suspended, Jhon Jairo Culma is a doubt due to illness and Adama Ba is struggling for fitness.

The African Cup of Nations has also had a big impact on Brest's squad depth with Ismael Traore, Ahmed Kantari, Kamel Chafni, Ousmane Coulibaly and Jonathan Ayite all preparing for the tournament.

Prediction

Evian take on Brest in Annecy hoping to pull away from the relegation zone with a much needed win.

Les Roses have won just two of their last six outings in the league, and currently sit just one place above the bottom three. They can have hope of obtaining a victory on Saturday however, as they face a side set to be much changed due to a large number of absentees.

Indeed, Brest are set to be without many first-team regulars, but they will have top scorer Eden Ben Basat at their disposal. The Israeli striker has enjoyed a strong season so far, and will look to find the net again against a leaky Evian defence.

Both teams have been hit hard by the upcoming African Cup of Nations, and with neither side in any sort of form, a nervous and uninspiring draw is perhaps the most likely outcome.
